Environmental Sensitivities
"More and more people report having adverse reactions to common substances in their daily environment. Products such as office cleaning solutions, perfumes, air fresheners, hairsprays or aftershave lotions can trigger a reaction ranging from mild to serious in some people. Avoidance of triggers is extremely difficult because of the widespread use of fragranced products. This can make it difficult for individuals with sensitivities to function in the workplace and other public environments." <snip>
